Guys - I think lots of us have at least one or two non level wind pre 1910 Shakespeare Reels. Hopefully you are willing to share some information and maybe a photo or two. I'm working to understand the progression of the reels from 1902-1909 and would also like a few good photos of ones that are in nice condition. A picture of a box would be nice too.
What I would like to know is: what is stamped on the head plate, tail plate and foot of your reel and then if it has quick release pillars. Also, if you have an silver oxidized reel, please ID it as such.
I have just over 50 of these reels but with several duplicates (ugly ones too!) and some gaps, of course.
Thanks for reading this! Dave Lucas

Re: Pre 1910 Non Level Wind Shakespeare Reels
Thank you! 110 views and someone came through. Hooray! Actually a couple of other members did help - much thanks to Eric Jeska and Bill Muth. Anyway, I get it can be a lot to ask. I'll pose another question and see what happens.
